Case Studies

Welcome to our Case Studies Hub, where real-world stories meet insightful analysis. Here, we showcase a diverse range of case studies across various industries, providing in-depth examinations of business challenges, innovative solutions, and impactful results. Our goal is to offer valuable insights and practical knowledge to help you learn from real examples and apply these lessons to our own endeavors. Explore our collection to gain a deeper understanding of successful strategies and best practices in action.

Industry

Heat exchanger

    • Material: Hastelloy X Full component build time: 90 hours dual laser
    • Lowered lead time from 9 months to 6 weeks
    • Consolidated from over 700 parts into one single piece
    • 3D Printed features increases heat exchanger performance

 

Company: Saab

Proof of Concept for a 6G radio

  • Material: AlSi10Mg
  • 4 brackets in one build: 68 hours build time quad laser
  • Substantial lower assembly time and increased cooling performance
  • Consolidated from 7 components into 1, 2 parts per radio needed
  • Reduction of weight which saves energy

 
Company: Ericsson

Heat exchanger

  • Combining multiple components into one
  • Printing is done by utilizing full build envelope and M290-2 two lasers with novel print technologies, like Optical Tomography and SmartFusion
  • AM design improves the cooling efficiency and the AM part size is remarkably smaller than the original geometry
  • Weight 39 kg, material 316L

Aerospace

Support for two reaction wheels in a satellite

  • Material: AlSi10Mg in 60 µm layer thickness
  • Print time full build plate (6 pcs): 7,5 h quad laser
  • Designed through topology optimization with the goal of reducing weight and cost while still maintaining stiffness.
  • The weight reduction is 1/3 in comparison to the previously machined part and the stiffness remains the same.
  • AM enables production of complex desgins without increasing manufacturing costs.

 
Company: OHB

Tooling

To Go package boxes made with fiber forming

  • Material: Aluminum
  • Functionally optimized surface structures
  • Parametric design methodology, able to adapt to any type of product
  • Increased production output by 30%

 
Company: Stora Enso

Internal studies

Different Support structure possibilities

  • Material: Ti64 Grade 5
  • Same design, three different support structures:

1. e-Stage: easier to remove and faster to print

2. Smart Fusion: thermal approach from EOS where the meltpool temperature is measured

3. Standard support
